About the adventure
Welcome to LA chummer: the home of the rich and famous, the city of angels and the epicenter of Horizon Corporation's seat of power. Where celebrities and their fans take to palm tree laden streets during the day and at night gangers and trolls itching for the big score crawl out of the shadows looking for a way to the top. In the Sixth World anyone who's anyone that's climbed out of the gutters of mankind have either blood on their hands or a silver spoon in their mouths. or both. It's a city where some of the most famous murders have gone unsolved and covered up and no bodies have turned into legends. Hollywood has fallen on hard times, but Horizon is on the rise, looking to usher in a new golden age for tensile town. by hook or by crook things moving in the shadows are preparing to either make or break the city: there's a megacorp on the rise and a killer on the streets, stalking the city and leaving a bloody trail in it's wake. gangs are on edge and lonestar is ready to crack down. And that's where you come in. you're a shadowrunner. the jobs you take make gangers piss their pants and the law scream that you're still out there. you pulled yourself off grid and now you're looking for that big score that will put you on top. loyal to no one save your own code, you're the tipping point in this game. will you save this city from itself? or will you be what burns it to the ground?

About me
Hi! My name’s Dave Knight. (I’m pretty terrible at talking myself up please bare with me.) So I’ve been trying for the longest time to come up with a really articulate way to describe essentially that I love telling stories and I love making sure you’re going to have a good time. I’ve been trying real hard. One little problem: I run games already five days a week and I never get time to sit and think on it. And that’s been going on since before I found this place. I’ve been a dm since 2005 in everything from exalted to d&d 5e to deadlands to dark heresy to Star Wars to SEVERAL Cthulhu games to fate and back. I love telling stories and I love seeing people have a good time sharing them. Since the pandemic I’ve been working overtime running games and a good chunk of my players said I need to join this. I’m not gonna waste your time; at the end of the day we’re all doing this stuff to have a good time amongst friends. That’s what I promise you. Whatever game we play together that’s my deal. If you aren’t having fun I don’t want to take your money or waste your time. What ya say?
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
if you have a character ready to go let me see what you've got, i'll probably approve it. character creation will happen at session zero, and i'll guide you through it to build something awesome! if you just want to jump in to it i'll also provide pregens to select from.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
you'll need a discord or roll20 account, both would be preferable. absolutely must have a microphone so we can communicate freely between each other. pre made characters will be accepted so long as i can look them over and approve them!
What Game Knight! brings to the table
i will have the books and character sheets ready to go, as well as dice bots (shadowrun uses A LOT of d6s we'll all be glad for that) and i'll have music provided in the background to add atmosphere.
Safety
How Game Knight! creates a safe table
shadowrun has famously always been a game about 2 weeks of careful planning followed by 20 minutes of absolute mayhem: magic, guns and cyberware mingle together with a well thought out (or incredibly haphazard why the hell not) and executed plan that almost never goes off the way it should. i promise you weird science, thrilling combat and wild antics in a gritty cyberpunk setting. we'll have fun!
